Welcome to DPD!The DPD Project is a thematic mix-CD project created by music geeks and best friends Chris Diamond, Chris Prokop, and Michael Darpino. Each CD in the project has a theme that ties the songs on it together. For every theme we each pick five songs that we feel best represent it. The collected fifteen songs are then mixed together in alternating order based on our last names. The songs that end up on DPD are meant to be the very best songs for their particular theme. We write liner notes for each song to explain why we picked it for that theme. The project has grown into a sort of musical memoir over the years since music has been and still is such a huge part of our lives. Most Recent Discs:

Random DPD Pick:Renegades of Funk by: Afrika Bambaataa and the Soul Sonic Force from: Renegades of Funk 7' Picked By: darpino For: DPD: 008 - Way Of Life Songs RENEGADES. This musical declaration of independence by Bambaataa's Zulu Nation label was one of many in a stream of street level hits that revolutionized black music and created the foundations of hip-hop. In it Bambaataa sets-up the idea of Renegades. Independent free-thinkers responsible for changing history by operating outside the mainstream. Renegades have changed politics, religion, civil rights and now music. This song is great because it puts a positive spin on being an outsider. Rather than nihilistic it's optimistic. Just because you're different doesn't mean you can't make a difference! Be a Renegade! |
